March Monthly Recap: Moving Forward
It’s hard to believe in light of the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent downturn of both the crypto and equity markets, that we’re only 3 months into 2020.
Despite this global uncertainty, Cartesi is still all hands on deck. We continue to progress in our: development, marketing and business development; everyone involved behind the scenes remains as vigilant as ever. We are continually optimizing our strategies and internal plans in order to meet the expectations of our community members and stakeholders, establishing Cartesi as the first decentralized operating system for DApps.
During the beginning of March, our team focused heavily on the testnet release of Creepts, the first DApp powered by Cartesi. We successfully on-boarded a host of users who assisted us in testing this innovative game and we’d like to thank them for their support. The Creepts Testnet was a massive success from a technical standpoint and a first for blockchain.
April will feature more exciting Cartesi updates including specifics around CTSI and our macro-token economy, and potentially even more exciting details about Cartesi’s future!
